DW: Around 100,000 people attended Reading Festival in the UK last weekend. This is what they left behind.
Yes, the tents were apparently also abandoned as they can be bought cheap and nobody cares. All that goes to landfill or gets burned.
also numerous reports of violence, theft and vandalism amongst the festival audience, whilst not quite enough to get TVP involved it scared some young people to the point they called their liberal Gen X parents to rescue them and take them home...
this isn't new either nor confined to Reading, the peace festival in Colchester, Essex which had been held since 1980s had to be stopped in about 2009 due to youths forming gangs and fighting amongst themselves!
